Congrats to those who have received offers for the ICU internship!!! Excited to be seeing new faces on the unit. :) I started the internship several months back in January. Cooli11 - Turtle Creek is great for the price! I'm looking into moving there...

TexanSN - Congrats! Which department are you working in?

There's really not much to do here in Temple. It is much, much smaller than Austin! I make the 1-hour trip to Austin once in awhile just to eat and shop. :)

Congratulations on landing a position in the ICU! I have an interview this week, also for an ICU internship. I hope I succeed in the interview, as you did! Have you checked out this website? index I find it to be a great resource.

I'd like to start this thread for those of us who applied for the Scott and White Internship Program beginning in January 2011. I know they are holding 3 days of group interviews for the critical care internship: November 12 November 19 December 03 ...

Did you ask when you can expect to hear back? I hope he considers us, the last group of interviewees, before making any decisions. Good luck to the both us! :) You mentioned in another S&W thread that you already work there? Your chances are grea...

I hope it went well! I have my interview on December 3rd. Not sure what to expect. I got an email yesterday and after reading the first line, I thought they were canceling my interview! Turns out, the director only wants to interview three people at ...

BRP RN, I hope it went well!! Now the waiting game begins... It'd be great if we both get chosen! Do you know when in January the program begins? You can email me. :)

KareBare511 - I know it's been almost 5 months since your last reply to this thread but I hope you get this. Can you share with us your experience in the critical care internship program? I will be interviewing for the program in several weeks. Any i...

Hi BRP RN, I'm in the same boat! I will be interviewing at Scott & White for the critical care internship. What about you? I'm also coming from outside of Texas. I read that the starting pay for new grads is around $24? But I need to confirm that...

Anyone here going to the New Student Welcome on April 7th? :)

gottagetthere, you can apply to SMU before completing all your prerequisites. I had six outstanding classes when I applied. As long as you have them complete before the start of the program, you'll be fine. I took pathophysiology online at Santa B...

hi puppie55! I'll be in your class! :) Wow, Sacramento, eh? That's quite a daily commute. I'll be commuting from San Jose, which shouldn't be too bad. There's a Facebook group for SMU ABSN students starting this summer. You should search for "S...

Iwant2beRN: Just curious, did you already get an award packet from SMU stating that you don't qualify for any federal loans? SMU sent me a letter notifying me that they didn't receive my FAFSA/Student Aid Report which I filed almost two months ago....

nursesrock08: carpooling sounds excellent. we can plan something out during orientation. :) Did anyone here take a basic life support (BLS) course certified by the AHA? I just want to make sure this course meets their CPR requirement.

I hope you hear more good news from other schools! Your stats are very high! Yeah, we still have a few weeks to decide. Keep us posted. :) Does anyone know when we'll hear back from the school regarding financial aid and which loans we might quali...

Hi Izzy16, Thanks! Stats wise, my GPA for the last 90 quarter units wasn't too hot, I think it was around 3.2. For the prerequisites alone, it was 3.8. On the NET, I got a 91 but I read that they're replacing the NET with the TEAS. Hope this help...

Hi everyone! I got my acceptance letter today for San Mateo. They want us to return the letter of intent by March 28th and there's a mandatory orientation on May 5th. Does anyone know recent graduates from this program and what it has been like fo...

Congrats!! I also got accepted to the San Mateo cohort. :) Time to find a BIG loan... Anyone else living in San Jose?

NuRsesRocK08, I had the same priority for my campus selections. Haven't gotten any notifications yet. Checking the mail has been such a scary process during the last two weeks. I hope the letters (or packets, I hope) come soon! Update: Nevermind...

Congrats to your friend, Iwant2beRN!! Do you know which campus she got accepted into? I read in the other Samuel Merritt forum that several acceptance letters for the San Francisco campus have been received. My first choice was San Mateo so I'm st...

I wouldn't worry yet, I sent mine in on Oct 28th and they haven't cashed my check either. I know they received it the next day because Laura accidentally called me instead of another prospective student regarding their application. Scared me, I tho...

Hello everyone! I'm also applying to the ABSN program for spring admission. Like StarBelly, I'm struggling with personal statement since I don't have any experience working in the healthcare industry. I hope that doesn't disqualify me from the pro...
